Academic freedom still lives, if only at U Chicago

It’s a mark of how fall higher ed has fallen, that a policy saying it’s okay to deeply offend someone on campus is now considered newsworthy. My added emphasis:

Of course, the ideas of different members of the University community will often and
quite naturally conflict. But it is not the proper role of the University to attempt toshield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or evendeeply offensive. Although the University greatly values civility, and although all
members of the University community share in the responsibility for maintaining a
climate of mutual respect, concerns about civility and mutual respect can never be used
as a justification for closing off discussion of ideas, however offensive or disagreeable
those ideas may be to some members of our community.
